A 21-year-old man was arrested after he was caught making himself a plate of chicken nuggets at a house he had broken into. Dan Schisel, who works as a Mankato Department of Public Safety Commander in Minnesota, received a phone call at 2.30am from an elderly woman who lives in a home on Johnson street. She told Dan Schisel,
“There was someone inside her residence and the male was not known to them. It appears that somehow he entered through the garage and the garage door was not locked between the garage and the house.”

Police suspect that the man may not have been entirely sober: “It did appear that maybe he was under the influence of something,” they told reporters. Right now it’s not clear why the man had broken into the house to make himself a snack but he didn’t actually resist the police when they came to arrest him. In fact, he was strangely cooperative:
“When officers arrived they were basically met right at the front door area,” Schisel explained, “And he was arrested without incident.”
Despite the good behaviour he is still being charged with felony burglary which could see him sentenced for 20 years if he is found guilty.
Burglar breaks into Ohio house, takes nap in homeowner's bed http://t.co/ZXLUGdanMU

Early last year a man from Halifax was charged after he broke into a person’s house, made himself a snack, some tea, and then took a nap on the sofa. The man was clearly intoxicated and he decided to make himself some jam on a tortilla wrap which is a major indicator that he was quite clearly drunk beyond belief. Around March of the same year a man from Oklahoma was also caught after he also took a nap mid-burglary. The woman who owned the home he broke into told police:
“My boyfriend woke me up and asked me who the strange man was in our house and I had no idea who he was," Doreen said. "There was chocolate milk still on the table and a cheese stick and french fries and he had gotten into the cabinets and got paper plates out to eat on and cooked in my microwave and I was literally asleep like three foot away from him.”
